May I present... a lady who needs no introduction.

Everyone's beloved cook.

Ms Delia.

She's currently enjoying a much needed break now they're back in 1920, but she'll be back soon and just remember... if you're not nice to her you might want to dine out for a while.

Did someone say... Power?

So, as many of you know, Zion has been working on limited power since jumping to 1950. But as of 9/6, it now has full power back as well as a limited cell network of it's own! This means people can charge their phones, text, sent pictures, etc.


Important points
  • Thanks to a bit of magic, everyone's cell phone was etched with runes that will make it look like a small notebook and pen to anyone not holding it. Ala this image. It is pocket sized. And yes, this means if you choose to call someone in public, you will appear to be talking into a book if you put it to your ear. However, if you put it on speaker, only you will be able to hear the voice, but you will look like you're talking to a book.

  • Charging happens automatically. A phone should never run out of power thanks to the magic imbued into the network that makes it all work.

  • There is a generator behind the supply wagon that is blocked off. Everyone has been warned to stay away. If they encounter an electrical problem, see Louis, Kristoph or Domino (the new addition did raise some eyebrows when it was announced at breakfast). There is a spell around the generator that will make most people walking past it ignore it (those who are specifically magic users like Sorcerers and Magi would be able to detect the spell at work- anyone with the ability to influence others mentally will feel it slightly less as strong).

  • The network works in the grounds of Zion, and 100 yards outside of the border- the were cages and the path to them are considered Zion grounds for the sake of the spell. Outside of this, the phones will still look like notebooks and be able to be used as a phone would without the ability to communicate with others. It will also start losing power. (Which means you could take pictures with them outside the carnival, but the battery won't charge and you won't be able to text or call anyone unless you were in the zone).

  • It's unclear who, but someone bought a bunch of extra phones, so anyone new joining Zion is given one.

  • There are no 'phone numbers' everyone's name is logged into the phones and 'magically' update when a new phone is added.

  • There is also a sort of 'group text' set up so people can post questions, comments, or thoughts publicly. Just mark your post as 'Public Text' or 'Zion Group Text' or something so people know.

Just an FYI, since the fire, Willis has been kinda MIA. Someone else has been running his ballys and there hasn't been any church service (though a few people do still gather, hoping). A few people have spotted him getting meals, but when they turn around he's gone. Those who live in the same communal tent as he say his bunk seems to be empty a lot, but they think they've seen him a few times, only to check on him and he's gone. But there are still some noises (like someone moving on the bed) that they hear, so they're pretty sure they're just missing him.

In truth, he's been staying in his ghost form (invisible demon trick) most of the time.

Okay, Meme time!!!!!

What I learned

Here's a fun one that's pretty simple. Meant for character growth ideas. For those characters applicable. What did they learn/take away from their time in 2020? How did time in the modern world change them?

For those on the flip side, how is going back to 1950/1920 going to change them?

T'is Em here with a lovely new character a few months in the making after going through a few different incarnations.

Meet Annie, just Annie.

She's going to appear just before they leave New Orleans. She'll be working in the Mess Tent, cooking and serving meals to Zion residents, those who sit by themselves will probably end up with a strange, tattooed woman sitting next to them.

Oh and she's an angel. She's drawn to those who are ignored by others cause they're 'different' (LGBT, different races or religion etc) and so far hasn't gotten in over her head.

Meg here again with my new demon oooooo.

Should have done this sooner but I got crazy sick yesterday so my apologies.

This is James Martin Lancaster but he goes by Marty. He's been on this earth for 174 years after his death and the dimness is getting a little bit more noticeable around him now. He's manipulative, he's brash, but most of all, he's a hunter. He hates church and is from the future! Whoa... But he remembers taking a trip to Zion once before it mysteriously disappeared in 1920. He learned how to sword swallow on YouTube and was glad he did that drunkenly one night because now he's got a reason to be there.

I want all things, obviously he's new so no one knows him yet but let me know about your character and if you think they'd interact well (or not well which is preferable ;-)

Feb Meme - Valentines day drinking


[info]zionmystique
[info]zionmystiqueooc
So, Valentines day was pretty fun. You got drunk and found yourself being exceptionally forthcoming about some pretty private things.

Post your character to have questions asked of them.
Ask questions of others characters. They have to answer with honesty that only comes with drunkeness.

*Note* Meme is non-canon, while answers should be legit for character histories/feelings, the actual questioning did not really happen.

Ask one (or more) of the following questions:

Hello everyone,

It's River again with my second chara - Lily.

She's a 131 year old French/English daywalker orphaned vampire who joined Zion Mystique a year ago with Edward and Eva. Lily is an experienced blacksmith and mechanic. She is quiet most times unless lead into conversation or looking to feed.

Friends, close friends?

Hey there!

Your friendly, neighborhood Raeness here bringing you this little pretty. Please meet Bitsy. She’s an eighteen year old Earth Elemental from Rhode Island. She and her boyfriend Cole (played by BB) have recently arrived. They’re basically runaways. Cole rescued Bitsy from a broken situation at home and she’s living a free life with him.

Currently she’s in Food service — whatever that capacity may be is for the future to decide. She also isn’t a performer at this time. If you see her laying around on the ground she probably isn’t hurt or sleeping, just becoming one with the earth and nature :)

She needs all of the things so give me everything!

You know how to find me :)

May I introduce my latest lovely boy. This is Edward Byron and, well, he's not really that lovely, in fact he's a bit of a bastard really but he is a nightwalker and humanity doesn't impress him that much although he does see the special people of Zion as a bit better than regular humanity and he has promised not to feed off them (unless they give him permission to do so).

He's a talker for the girl's dancing show and charms the gents into the tent to see them dance and if they've got enough coin they might get the chance to get some special time alone with Ms Valdez. Edward is Eva's sire and is quite protective of her, only she is allowed to call him Eddie and although they tell others that they're cousins but he's clearly English and she's Spanish and they're much more handsy than any cousins should really be, does he care what others think? Most certainly not.

He doesn't really have friends but more 'people he tolerates', so that and any lines are welcomed... or at least we'll see how they get along.

Hi everyone. Sorry I've been so absent lately, but life got a little busy with visiting family and work things. That said, I think I'm going to need to drop Henry. I really like the premise of this game and you've all been really wonderful/welcoming (thank you for that!), but the format just isn't clicking for me.

I wish you guys the best!

We're going to try something. A Meme! If successful we may do one every month.

My favorite things (and least favorite)

Ever want to know what someone's favorite color is? Food? Person? How about what they hate? Now's your time to ask.

How to play
Post your characters names.
Ask other characters questions.
Answer questions as your characters.

Important note
While all the interactions in this OOC post are non-canon. The information your characters provide should be canon (whether they've told people or not is up for grabs).

Any questions? Good. And begin!

Yo yo!

It’s your friendly, neighborhood Raeness bringing another round of trouble!

This is Apollo, he goes by Paul mostly, and he’s a werewolf. Paul helps keep the peace and acts as security, he’s been working at Zion for three years now. He would probably know your characters more by smell than by name (or maybe face if he never gets close) but that’s up for speculation between players :)

He’s only chasing tail if it’s a lady (sorry fellas) and I’m sure he’s had his fair share of failed relationships. I need everything for him - pals, ex-lovers, friends with benefits (for now), casual encounters. Give me things! No biting, we promise!

Check out his bio for the rest. Hooray!

Happy playing ♥

We're one month in! Yay!

Sorry the updates are a bit late, but here we are!

We have quite a few new players and characters this month, welcome all.

Here's a few OOC things to do if you haven't already:
- Help me keep the contact info page updated by filling out the form.
- Help one of our characters by sharing loved ones your characters may have lost and who might be roaming around occasionally as spirits.

Important FYI's
There will be a large game wide plot this month. While not every character will be involved in the actual events, there will be an IC discussion thread where characters can all give their input on what actions should be taken.
Remember, individual character lines you don’t need to get permission to do (though a heads up would be nice just in case we can help), but if there’s anything that might impact the entire carnival just throw me a quick idea blurb (Dropbox or IM, doesn’t have to be official) so we can make sure everyone knows.

Also a reminder that the Carnival will be moving almost every month, so keep that in mind when making plans. All characters would expect to move to a new place (and know what that place is) at the first of the month. Just make sure you check the IC monthly update :).

Hey all! Meg here bringing in Bella Burns. Bella was left at Zion when she was only six years old. She’s telekinetic, reactive and a little bit sensitive when it comes to both of those. She hangs around the church and does lessons with the school aged children when she’s not running the whip.

Anyone who messes with Reverend Conrad will be sorry once she gets of hold of them, so stay away!!

I’d love anything, people she’s grown up with, anyone she might have hooked up with in the past, etc.

This is Em, I have just returned to Australia after a month holiday and I bring you my lovely second boy - Finn.

Finn would be a familiar face to most people in Zion seeing as he's been part of the carnival for 15 and a half years, he's seen a lot of people come and go over those years but still likes that there's a few familiar faces still around.

He has an underwater escape show, not as fancy as Houdini but still gets the people's attention... but what they don't know is that while it looks like he's going to run out of air and drown Finn has a secret - he's a water elemental and can 'breathe' underwater by drawing the oxygen through his skin. Finn also has the ability to manipulate and control water but he rarely does this, though does enjoy making water spheres and other small items.

He's got quite the history and most of it not that nice, if you want to know more look at his bio. Finn has a wagon which he shares with his best friend Riley, though really they're much more than friends but keep it on the down-low (neighboring wagons would definitely know what's going on from the sounds regularly coming from that location) but they don't really care. He is also happy to keep an eye on kids if their parents want some time alone, having lost his wife and baby during childbirth 16 years ago he still has that pain inside him and this is how he gets his paternal fix.

Give me things - friends, enemies and what-have-you.
